Weapons Seized at Walsall Magistrates' Court

West Midlands Police have released details of the dangerous weapons seized by security staff at Walsall Magistrates' Court in the past month.

The horrifying array, pictured in the image above, includes kitchen knives, flick knives, lock knives, knuckle dusters, cutlery and tools. The items were seized from members of the public attending court.

It would seem the ideal opportunity to thank the security staff who do such a good job keeping court users safe across England and Wales.

They are sometimes criticised, but on the whole perform their duties with the utmost diligence, professionalism and good humour. We are grateful for their efforts and wish them all the best for Christmas and the New Year.
